He assaulted a 16-year-old. He walked. Again. Sofiane Belasri, 41, Algerian, of Dalston Lane, Hackney, sexually assaulted a schoolgirl outside Liverpool Street station on 4 July 2024. He bought the group alcohol, sat behind her on the Bishopsgate steps, grabbed her, tried to kiss her, put his arms around her neck, then touched her breasts after she told him to get off. He offered them a vape if they went down an alley and performed oral sex on him. A friend ran to Bishopsgate police station. He was arrested on the spot.​ A jury convicted him in July 2026. His leave to remain expired in 2017. He had five previous convictions and unpaid work he never finished. The judge said he exploited a drunk young girl. Southwark Crown Court still gave him two years suspended. Sex offenders register. A ban on approaching girls under 18 in public. Courses. No prison. No deportation. Police are “reviewing” it. He left court laughing.​ She is left wary of older men and of London at night. He is left free. That is the sentence. Disgusting is the polite word.
